Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is a key enzyme in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis; but in this case, the function of this enzyme in gluconeogenesis is more significant. Gluconeogenesis is reversal of glycolysis by bypassing irreversible reactions of glycolysis and making use of reversible reactions of glycolysis. In turn, compounds such as pyruvate, alanine, and glycerol will eventually be converted back to glucose. In the liver, this glucose can be released in the bloodstream in response to hypoglycemic states (i.e. fasting states).
In the deficiency of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, gluconeogenesis will be impaired. Therefore there will be an abnormal decrease in blood glucose levels during fasting. Substrates for gluconeogenesis (i.e. pyruvate and alanine) will then accumulate in the body causing its levels to increase.
Answer:
Answer is option D.
Olfactory nerve is a sensory cranial nerve.
Explanation:
Nerves are the part of peripheral nervous system, which transmit signals from brain or spinal cord (central nervous system) to the different parts of the body and vice versa.
Based on the direction of signal transmission, they are classified into three groups; sensory nerves (afferent nerves) pass signals from sensory receptors (pain, pressure, temperature etc) in various parts of the body to the central nervous system, motor nerves (efferent nerves) transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands all throughout the body, mixed nerves contain both sensory and motor fibers which conduct both sensory information and muscle commands throughout the body.
Based on where they are connected to the central nervous system, they are classified into two groups; spinal nerves connected to the spinal cord and cranial nerves attached to the brain. All the 31 spinal nerves are combined sensory and motor axons.
Of the 12 cranial nerves, three are sensory nerves, four are motor nerves and five are mixed nerves. The sensory cranial nerves are olfactory (smell), optic (vision) and acoustovestibular (hearing and balance) nerves. The motor cranial nerves are trochlear (controls the superior oblique muscle of the eyeball), abducens (controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eyeball), accessory (controls the trapezius muscle in the back and shoulders), hypoglossal (controls the muscles of the throat and helps in swallowing) nerves. The five mixed cranial nerves are occulomotor, trigeminal, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves.
Answer:
Solution : Combustion of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a chemical change. Because it is an irreversible reaction and new products, carbon dioxide and water vapour are formed and lot of heat is also produced during the reaction.
